AIKI RIOTECH CORPORATION / PRODUCTS / Air Texturizing Machine

The air texturizing machine has the following functions: it feeds continuous fibers (POY/FDY) such as nylon and polyester into an air texturizing nozzle with a feed roller set at arbitrary speed, interlaces that yarn with air or blends them using turbulence generated by compressed air inside the nozzle, and then produces yarn known as ATY.

The AT-501 series can produce high-quality ATY stably at high speed. Moreover, application of an auto-doffing device allows less manpower to be needed and for the yarn to be maintained at the specified length. These features suit application to warp yarn. Special yarn such as differential shrinkage yarn for use in peachskin-like fabrics and slub yarn (knubbed yarn) for splash-pattern fabrics can also be produced depending on the specifications of the machine used.

Nylon ATY is often used in sportswear, umbrellas and bags. Spun-like nylon yarn is mass-produced in Taiwan and South Korea.
Fabric woven with this yarn has been utilized in famous sports brands and is well-known all over the world. In the polyester field, ATY is being used in the interior of vehicles such as car sheeting and as materials for interior decorating by European, Japanese and other global automobile and interior material manufacturers in recent years. As described, ATY is extremely versatile due to its variety of forms and characteristics. Demand for ATY also seems to be expanding due to the possible development of new products differing from traditional DTY (Draw Textured Yarn).
